Labour
At first, the divers thought the dolphin was just curious, but then they took a closer look at the dolphin’s belly and noticed the animal was in labour! The video clearly shows the fin of a baby dolphin sticking out of its mother’s belly. You can also see how the dolphin stays close to the divers and gives birth to its baby right there. Thanks to underwater cameras of amazing quality, the divers managed to capture this beautiful moment.
Baby dolphin
After some swimming around the bottom of the ocean trying to give birth to her young, the dolphin manages to push out the baby dolphin. Immediately after the birth, mother and child swim away together. It’s really sweet to see how close the baby stays to its mother! It’s a wonderful moment altogether and the divers can count themselves lucky that they were able to witness this joyous occasion.
